Stay heavy my diamond.
Seek the ways you shine.
Head where you once ,a little coal.
Hear the echoes it told.
Stop the spikes that grow.
Hold on ,to your soul.
You will realise in the end.
The story that’s once yours.
Will you try one day to see?.
The paths that waves through the sea.
Shining through.
Reflecting you.
To see the diamond you can be.
After all ,every diamond starts as a little coal.

Oh dear Diamond In the Rough you drive me crazy. I can’t stop laughing at your jokes or looking at your beauty. oh so shiny oh so pure. Such a pure soul that I can’t wait to ruin the purity of. I’m a Basalt rough and dark. Your a diamond smooth and shiny. My roughness in your diamond heart is the perfect combo. **Oh I can’t wait to ruin your purity.**...
Anna Marie Stewart was said to be one of the richest, most spoiled brats in the world. That was, until, she met Jasper Knight.
Anna had everything she ever dreamed of. She lived in a huge house on top of a hill with her father, Gabriel, and her older brother, Theodore. She had a very good education, and she was tended to by her own personal maids.
But Anna wanted more. Ever since she was a lit...
[Yes, I know that the IMSA VP does not work like this. Yes, I have driven rally cars. Enjoy the story.]
You’re not _really_ a rally racer. Well, you could be, but it’s nothing like how it was in the 80’s. Too much safety. Not enough speed. It’s why you race for IMSA VP, where they have a million useless sponsors and’ll take anyone who wants a big silver trophy and can drive a fancy car.

(I am drawing inspiration from Aladdin)
A diamond is hard to find
They are precious
So you never expect
They often lay in the dirt
In fact, diamonds are forged
From rock and heat
Under pressure
They become their best
Some are evil
Some are good
Some are both
I suppose some are none at all
Steal an apple
You’re a thief
Steal a kingdom
You’re a statesman
A quote from someone
Who though...
Once, in a bustling city teeming with merchants and travelers, there was a small, unassuming jewelry shop nestled in a narrow alley. The shop's windows were dusty, and the wooden sign that read "Davenport's Treasures" hung crookedly. Few people ventured inside, as the displays seemed filled with trinkets of little value—old rings, tarnished chains, and faded gemstones.
The shopkeeper, Mr. Davenpo...
The potential hiding in the cover,
Break out or stay in different life;
Diamond sit quietly in the stones,
A person study quietly in the days;
They all waiting for the time to come.
Behind the shining there is loneliness,
Behind the spotlight there are hardships.
Come from the rough,
Learn to be the prides....
Your past casts a shadow dark and tall,
But are you alone or is that common to us all?
You think if someone finds out they will run,
But why abandon a story that has barely begun?
Foolishly to everyone you start to compare
Rating your self against others causes dispair
No one like you has ever done enough,
But could you be that Diamond in the rough?...
Maybe in my younger years
I spent too much time
setting myself aflame to give others warmth
Or maybe it is just my nature to fuel others’ dreams
But I am the coal in the engine of my life
burning
Always Burning
I was today year old when I learned
Diamonds are one carbon atom away from coal
Pressed into beauty
Blazed into brilliance
Could the pressure of illness and caretaking
Could the weigh...
